Commanders are dropping like flies this year

[SocialD]

Wait, so you guys are going to sit right there and tell me there is more to this story?   Hold on while I try to contain my shocked face...

Interpretation?

I don't know shit about shit, but here's my valuable interpretation:

The reactor crew is highly trained, specialized, and not easy to replace. As they began to get sick and incapacitated with the virus, the Navy had a 5 billion dollar aircraft carrier with a nuclear reactor potentially stuck in the middle of the Pacific that no one else was qualified to operate. The ship medical staff estimated there would be 50 deaths on the ship if they didn't quarantine/evacuate.

The senior officers aboard the ship all conferred and wanted to sign the letter to the Navy leadership, but were denied by Crozier and he took all the responsibility .

A deliberate attempt to put egg on our face but I'm not sure it matters. China already has so much egg from this whole fiasco I'm not sure anyone on the world gives a fuck that they can launch a carrier right now.

Icing on the cake.  It's the great power struggle...

[StoleIt]

I mean, Russia tried to flex with their carrier participating in operations over Syria...and how did that work out for them?

Clever timing for China to run this...but is anyone actually scared of their floating casino?

[Danger41]

Not scared, but extremely concerned with their capes, yes.

I think we all knew more news would continue to be unearthed the longer time went on, but this was an interesting facet:

The email from Capt. Brett Crozier was sent to three admirals and copied to seven other captains, according to a copy obtained by the Post, contradicting former acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly’s assertion it was sent to “20 or 30” people.

So, not only did the old SECNAV quit his job, possibly get COVID, but he's also terrible at math?

[Sua Sponte]

The CNO wants Crozier restored to command.

Rumor that 332 Expeditionary Med Group Commander was fired.  Home during corona, next job filled with another inbound, but no real news.  Anyone there can confirm?

Here’s another one:

The ones that make the news may only be the tip of the iceberg. Ever catch one that was kept quiet and just sort of happened?

No, but I've had a few where I couldn't believe they didn't get fired.

[Sprkt69]

I’ve seen multiple instances where a wing king tried to fire some group commanders only to be told no by the numbered AF commander. The firings that I’ve seen kept quiet were due to infidelity (2 married squadron commanders). 

[Bender]

I still just want to know why they pulled Zoe Kotnik. I get privacy and all, but seriously...just want to know, know.

Big Gray does NOT like to be publicly embarrassed.

 

Strike Group commander promotion also held up if not cancelled.

No idea. Nobody that I know seems to know anything. Nothing leaked, yet.

I'm at Vance and had heard literally nothing until an Enoid friend mentioned it 10 minutes ago...

Rumor has it, he didn't turn roll calls into a PC, gala-type event, that's setup and ran by the wing EO office.
